Data collection and coding process: 

Data was collected via surveys (for grades 4-6 and nearly 70% of grade 3) and interviews (grades 1, 2, and the remainder of grade 3). Data was entered by undergraduate research assistants into Qualtrics and Excel. Entry errors were identified and remedied via double-coding and analysis by the authors. For the purpose of this article, we use responses to closed-ended responses to most questions. The coding of the responses is available in the codebook, including when we recoded responses. Unless specifically noted, skipped questions and �don�t know� responses were coded as missing. We use open-ended responses to one question: �What kinds of things do you think the President does?� One of the authors coded these responses into categories, which are provided in the dataset. 

We take the protection of our research subjects very seriously. The children are only identified by an ID number, their grade, and the region of the country in which they live.
